Co-founder Sebastian Przyborowski becomes CEO as Joanna Drabent steps down after decade of growth
Media relations platform Prowly is undergoing a leadership change as co-founder Joanna Drabent steps down from her role as CEO after 12 years. Drabent will transition to a Board Advisor position, continuing to offer her expertise to guide the company's future.
Sebastian Przyborowski, who co-founded Prowly with Drabent and has been serving as Chief of Product, will take over as CEO. Together, they developed a platform for simplifying media relations, and have grown it into a product used by thousands of business owners, Public Relations experts, and Marketing professionals.
"We've achieved more than I ever dreamed possible, and built something special here - a company that values integrity, creativity, and excellence,” Drabent said. “I am confident that these foundations, combined with Sebastian's passion and strategic thinking, will help Prowly thrive and reach new heights.”
Founded in 2013, Prowly has grown from a startup into a SaaS all-in-one platform, serving 7,000 PR professionals across 90 countries. This growth caught the attention of Semrush, a leading online visibility management platform, who acquired Prowly in 2020.
"Our vision hasn't changed since the beginning - we're still committed to making everyday work easier for our customers,” Przyborowski said. “We’re excited to offer even more value to our customers in the future, including implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our PR workflows and enhancing our data-driven insights.”
